--- Comment #9 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
The field in attachment 168734 has a fixed, explicitly defined, language
(German). However, this is not apparent if you right-click the field, choose
"Edit Fields...", then in the dialog, click on "Additional Formats..." on the
bottom of Format list.

The list would have "German (Germany)" selected under "Language". If you scroll
to the bottom of the list of languages, and select "Automatic", the field will
expectedly start following the language of the surrounding text... but if you
look again into the language in the dialog, you would see specific language
again, not the "Automatic" entry selected. Same specific language selection is
shown when you paste fields by default, so user does not see the difference
between fields with language set to automatic (= "get language of surrounding
text") and with explicit language (= "use this language, no matter what")...

This is a regression: worked OK in LibreOffice 3.3.0 OOO330m19 (Build:6) tag
libreoffice-3.3.0.4 ("Automatic" entry would be pre-selected in number format
dialog).

Needs bibisection. Additional observation: the list of languages has
"Automatic" entry on the bottom, while the top entry is "Africaans (Namibia)"
in en-US UI, and that top entry is separated from the rest of the list, while
the expected is Automatic on the top and separated - see bug 114694. *Possibly*
the regression could have something to do with fix of that bug.
